Tokyo
3hours
This guided tour will take you around Asakusa, a historic part of Tokyo. I will guide you to the famous Kaminarimon Gate, Nakamise Street, Sensoji Temple, and Asakusa Shrine with explanation of history. I can also take you to recommended spots in the surrounding area based on your preferences, such as Matcha cafe, Hoppy Street, the Shin-Nakamise Shopping Street, Azumabashi Bridge overlooking the Sumida River, and Tokyo Skytree. I love foods and drinks (especially Japanese BBQ, sushi, and sake), so I can give you some recommendations of restaurants, diners, and the places you can enjoy or buy tasty Japanese sake around this area. And of course, I will take plenty of photos of you during the tour!

"Hello! I'm Chakki. I would like to offer a localized tour in Tokyo, focusing on Japanese traditional culture, nice foods and drinks! I always love communicating with people around the world. When I was an university student, I belonged to English speaking society and international exchange society. There, I experienced a volunteer guide in Asakusa and Meiji shrine. Now, I work for expanding Japanese traditional crafts and culture into the world. I also love travelling overseas and Japan. With those experiences, I will share Japanese hidden gems with you! I look forward to travelling and talking with you guys :)"
